Becoming a Wizard by Starting From the Mind Closure Technique - Chapter 299
Chapter 299: Chapter 68: Epidemic? Mutation? It’s Biochemical Transformation!_3
Firstly, a fairy’s affliction with the disease and the degree of infection and mutation can indeed be determined from the pupil;
Secondly, the disease doesn’t transmit through regular means such as air or bodily fluids, but through a specific kind of extraordinary mutation;
Link hasn’t had the chance to fully understand the exact mechanics, although he thought it exhibited similarities to gene mutations caused by radiation;
Last, from the absence of fear in the new fairies towards the changed rainforest fairies mixed with a hint of expectation, it can be boldly inferred that they may deliberately expose themselves to the infection of the disease.
Considering the Fairy World has been under the invasion of Wizard Palo and had in general been at a disadvantage, with extensive territory lost and devastating casualties.
This was done for the sake of resisting, defending their homeland, and ensuring their continuation.
It’s completely plausible that within the Fairy World, a faction has risen that hopes to enhance their combat effectiveness through biochemical means to turn the tide of battle.
The possibility of warriors willing to sacrifice themselves for the continuation of their kind and act as experimental subjects is also quite likely.
The zombie-like mutation might be a side effect of the poison.
The real target of the “disease” seems to be strengthening their inherited special abilities.
It was now that Link finally realized he was misled by the description given to him by the front line medical department.
The term “disease” was simply a definition given by wizards regarding the large-scale mutation of the fairies.
Once his train of thought was clear, Link immediately changed his research method.
He planned to deliberately trigger a fairy “mutation,” observing the entire process and comparing the extent of the change before and after the “mutation?”
To ensure the smooth progress of the research, Link chose to involve a person first.
“What’s up?”
Old Man Morpheus, who received Link’s call for help, rushed over immediately.
“I’m planning to record the power and innate abilities of a fairy before and after its ‘mutation.’ I need your help and supervision.”
Link stated his request.
Though the upper limit for the Fairy World was Level 5, it doesn’t mean that there are fairies equivalent to a Level 5 Sage.
Most adult fairies equivalent to a third-class wizard apprentice, a few talented ones had power close to a First Level Wizard, a very few had power close to a Second Level Wizard, and an extremely small part had power comparable to a Third Level Wizard.
There was only one in the entire Fairy World who could rival a Fourth Level Sage, and he had been wounded by Wizard Palo.
Among the eight fairies held in solitary confinement, not one had power close to that of a First Level Wizard.
Technically, even if they had started a riot, Link could have subdued it easily and wouldn’t need to askfor help.
But better safe than sorry.
As long as there is a strong ally willing to help, why not make full use of it?
Old Man Morpheus didn’t refuse and seriously provided Link with protection by his side.
Link chose the healthiest fairy and threw it into the Magic Laboratory.
First, he thoroughly replenished its vitality, allowing the fairy to return to its peak state,
Then he sprayed a potion that triggered emotions, inducing the fairy’s anger and making it launch a full attack.
All kinds of facilities and equipment seized the opportunity to collect data, recording all aspects of the fairy.
Once verifying that the data under normal conditions have been properly collected.
And backup copies were made afterward.
Link continued his operation.
He started by providing the fairy with an excess of vitality, replenishing as much as the fairy could bear as it was being consumed.
Then he once again provoked the fairy, causing an attack.
A different form of fairy “mutation” unfolded right in front of Link and Morpheus.
It validated Link’s hypothesis that there is a strong correlation between mutation speed, mutation degree, and vitality.
It was called an alternative “mutation.”
The reason was, due to the timely and abundant replenishment of vitality, the fairy’s “mutation” speed was extremely fast, while the degree of “mutation” remained very low.
While it still underwent a typical zombification process in appearance, its body did not shrivel, and little sanity was lost.
Rather, its innate abilities were significantly enhanced.
The fought power after “mutation” leaped from the level of a third-class wizard apprentice before “mutation” and ranked highly among First Level Wizards.
Thus, it was indeed not a “disease”, and should not be referred to as a “mutation.”
This represented an ongoing yet unsuccessful attempt by the Fairy World at genetic modification and enhancement experimentation.
Moreover, they were getting infinitely closer to success.
As long as the shortfall of vitality during the “mutation” process can be compensated, and the problem of losing sanity is solved, they can be considered perfect.
By then, what the Wizard Army will have to face, is an endless number of enhanced fairies who possess the combat capabilities of a First Level Wizard.
Morpheus, who was observation the whole process, broke into a cold sweat.
If there were a talent like Link Grande in the Fairy World, the campaign might still end in victory, but the losses would be catastrophic.
The dude has only been here a few days, yet he has researched the fairy’s “disease” and “mutation” so profoundly.
And even discovered the key to solving the drawbacks of “mutation.”
While thinking about this, Morpheus changed the way he looked at Link.
It was like looking at a monster.
